A sample page from the final report – an annotated wireframe screen of the proposed interface.

This project envisions a mapping application for eBird users to discover places near them with few eBird reports. The work was done for an Interactive Design class and is related to a paper and presentation called Mapping eBird. The project involved user research, user interviews, an ideation phase with feedback, and the final design of a prototype wireframe.

I had a bit of fun with the design, opting for a sort of pirate treasure map look in the spirit of discovery. You can view the entire report below, which includes much of the background research and annotated prototype screens.
